The Problem with Kindle

Problem is, you can store tons of books on the thing, but no one will know! No one can look at your Kindle and say, “Wow, Tom, you’re a really erudite person.” No one can be impressed that you’ve got a library on an arcane subject.

Just as we walk upright and wear 501’s for genital display, so too we display books on our bookshelves to impress and intimidate others.
